Call to Edit! Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon 2019

“Don’t Agonize. Organize.” – Florynce Kennedy

The Belkin invites participants of all genders and expressions to a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the Gallery. Annually each March, art and feminist communities around the world converge to correct Wikipedia’s gendered biases, to bolster the coverage of under-represented persons indexed within the ubiquitous online resource, and to encourage editorship.

Join us and help balance the gender imbalance by creating and editing Wikipedia articles about female artists, feminist art movements, histories of cis and trans women and non-binary persons. We will provide help for beginner Wikipedians, reference materials, and refreshments. Bring your own laptop, power cord, and ideas for entries that need updating or creation.
